*How it works*

A clear path forward.
Starting with a single step.

Reaching out doesn't mean you've committed to anything. It means you're open to finding out whether this is right for you. That's the only thing the first step requires.

Here's exactly what happens from that point forward.

*The process*

Five stages.
No surprises.

Your Inquiry

You submit a brief message — nothing more than your name, contact details and a sentence or two about what's brought you here. You don't need a clinical history or a clear diagnosis. You just need to reach out.

Every inquiry is received directly by Dr. Jarell. You'll hear back within 24–48 hours.

Takes 2 minutes. No commitment required.

The Discovery Call

A 15–20 minute conversation — free of charge. This isn't a sales call and it isn't a clinical intake. It's a genuine conversation to understand what you're carrying, what you're hoping to build, and whether Ironwave is the right fit for you.

If it isn't, I'll tell you — and help point you somewhere that is.

What to expect: some questions about your current situation, what's been getting in the way, what you're working toward. You don't need to prepare anything. Just show up and talk.

Comprehensive Assessment

If the discovery call indicates a good fit, the next stage is a full assessment. This covers both clinical and performance dimensions — psychological history, current presenting concerns, performance context, goals and the factors that have shaped where you are now.

The assessment is the foundation everything else is built on. It's not a formality — it's the work that makes everything after it more precise.

Format: typically two sessions. In-person or via teletherapy.

Your Bespoke Program

After the assessment, I design a program built specifically around you. Not a template applied to your situation — a framework created from what the assessment revealed, structured around your goals and your context.

For the Integrated Program, this means clinical and performance threads woven together from the start, with a clear direction for the first 12 weeks and beyond.

You'll review the program before work begins. Nothing starts until you understand and agree with the direction.

The Active Work

Sessions begin. The cadence, format and focus are shaped by your program and your progress — not a fixed schedule applied to everyone.

Progress markers are built into the program so you're not left wondering whether anything is changing. At 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks, we assess where you are and calibrate what comes next.

The goal isn't indefinite support. It's building capabilities that hold when sessions aren't happening.

*Common questions*

Things people usually want to know.

Do I need a referral to get started?

Is teletherapy available?

How long are sessions?

Does insurance cover this?

My child is a minor. How does that work?

Do you work with sports teams?

How do I know which service is right?

How is this different from regular therapy or life coaching?

I'm not sure I'm ready. Is that okay?

Stage 01 starts whenever you're ready.

Sending a message is the only thing that needs to happen next. Everything else follows from there.
